Hi everyone, after a long and needed pause, it's good to be back to Stav curation. I'm @luana_lmartinez and today I brought the amazing work of Eric Mencher (@ericmencher). Eric believes that almost anything can become an interesting photograph. A former photojournalist for The Philadelphia Inquirer, he spent decades documenting world events, from post-apartheid South Africa and Rwanda to Cuba and Chechnya, while also photographing everyday life, arts, sports and culture. Today, he works exclusively with an iPhone, embracing its freedom and simplicity.
What draws me to Eric's work is the quiet balance between observation and composition. His photographs never seem to chase extraordinary moments. Instead, they reveal how light, shadow, gesture and space can transform ordinary scenes into images full of presence. I was especially captivated by his beautiful use of black and white, rich contrasts and graphic simplicity, where every frame invites us to slow down and look a little longer.
Enjoy his amazing work and I wish you all a great rest of the week and the weekend.

I was happy to experience being selected as one of the official photographers for a marathon group for the Peachtree Road Race 26. It was hot as all get out but I enjoyed myself for those 4 hours. These are just a few I snapped on a second camera.

‘I would say there are three things that I think I can sort of distill it down into why I do photography, and it's to create, to connect, and to communicate. I mean, we all have creative instincts that we need to fulfill. We do it in different ways. I do it mainly through my photography.
To create, to connect, because after all, I mean, yeah, you can do it for yourself, but ultimately you need to be able to connect with other people through your work and to communicate what you're seeing, how you feel about what you're seeing, and to communicate how you feel about life too.’ Eric Mencher
